i think we heard a large resounding message yesterday's if not the most liberal state in america. the people of massachusetts spoke loudly and. one concerned and number of you had about the outcome of this election would be whether the new center would be seated sen. i'm convinced now that no gamesmanship will be played by the other side with regard to future votes in the senate. jim webb of virginia has made it clear he will not participate in any additional health care votes prior to senator brown being sworn in. and i noticed that elected officials in massachusetts who were principally responsible for certifying the election after early innings -- earlier saying it would take up to two weeks have now indicated that it could be as early as today. i did not believe that the kind of thing we have seen on full display with the cornhuskers kick back, the louisiana purchase, the gator aid, drafting the bill behind closed- door -- i think the majority has gotten the message and no more gamesmanship, no more a lack of transparency, let's honor the wishes of the people of massachusetts
